The Book of Ahkman

1And it came to pass that I beheld great ropes were given unto angels, and they moved as it were flying into the north. And I asked of the angel, For what purpose have they been given ropes and flown to the north? And he spoke unto me saying, They have flown forth to measure. And also spoke saying, And that which they shall measure is the righteous. For the ropes of the righteous are given to the righteous. This that they might hold themselves fast to the name of the Lord of Hosts for eternity. And the saints shall gather with the saints according to the measure of their faith that this will strengthen their righteousness. For these measures shall show the secrets of the hidden places of the earth, and also those who have died in the desert, and also those who were eaten by animals, and those who were eaten by fish in the sea; so that those people may return and be restored on the great day of the Elect One. For behold not one shall be lost to the Lord of Hosts and not one shall be destroyed. All those who live in the heavens were given a commandment and also power. And they were given a single voice and also a light as it were fire. With their words they blessed one, and they praised him with wisdom, for they were wise in their words and in the Spirit. And it came to pass that the Lord of Hosts did seat the Elect One on a throne of glory. And He shall judge the works of all the holy ones above in heaven. And the remainder of their doings shall be measured. His countenance shall rise and judge the secret doings according to the Word of the Lord of Hosts. And all of them shall speak of one accord that they might bless, and make holy, and glorify the name of the Lord of Hosts. He shall call forth all the hosts of heaven, even all those which are holy, even the Host of God. He shall call forth the Cherubim, and the Seraphim, and the Ophanim, and also the Powers, and the Principalities, and the Dominions, and the Thrones. Even the elect one and all other great ones of the earth and sea. And on that great day they shall have one voice and they shall bless, and glorify, and raise up, in the Spirit of Faith, and the Spirit of Wisdom, and the Spirit of Patience, and the Spirit of Mercy, and the Spirit of Judgment, and the Spirit of Peace, and the Spirit of Goodness. For they shall shout with one voice saying, Blessed is He, for the name of the Lord of Hosts shall be blessed forevermore. All those who have not waited in the heavens shall praise Him. And all those holy ones shall praise Him. And all the elect who are in life shall praise Him. And all the spirits of light who shall honor and purify shall Praise Him. And all flesh shall praise Him above that which they can give. For behold great is the mercy of the Lord of Hosts and he hath great patience. Wherefore all his works even all that hath been created by Him he hath revealed unto the righteous, in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
